year again when his mother died

And then only now

I've been busy

There was no time

No... you just gave it all up

And Janaki was just as obstinate!

She didn't even come

when her parents died

But I think she is here now

Did you know?

Yes. I did

She is unwell, isn't she?

That's what I heard

Aren't you going to see her?

I might...

...just leave. I may not see her

You come over to the Church.

I have a class now

There are kids from outside

I'll be here for two days

I'll come by again. - Ok

Were you going to bed?

No

Your mother was always

worried about you

How you would turn out...what

your future would be like

She didn't live long

enough to see all this

With the police case relating

to the airport incident...

...and Govindan's influence...

...no one thought you

would ever be free again

When the cases were all settled...

...and Balaji took you to Delhi...

...and put you in college...

...that was when

Sister was relieved

Then all she wanted was that...

...your attention

be not diverted...

...by anything here

That is why she kept

these hidden from you

I knew about it too

But I couldn't tell you either

When Sister died and the

house was demolished...

...I kept this safe

If you don't know about

this at least now...

...it will be a grave injustice

Not to my sister

...but to Janaki

Those are all letters Janaki

wrote you from Singapore

To, my Venkidi

I was crying so hard I fainted...

...as I boarded the flight

I don't even remember

landing or reaching here

They have enrolled me in college

I was crying as we went

We are so far apart...

...could I ever reach you if

I started running from here?

It is exam time in college

I am studying with a vengeance

If I get a job after my studies...

...I can get you here

Why...why won't you

even send me a reply?

Was it so easy for you

to forget me, Venkidi?

Even though I don't get

any reply from you...

...do you realise how many

letters I have written to you?

I am getting married

tomorrow, Venkidi

My father and mother

got here yesterday

There's nothing I can do now...

You remember how I told you Janaki

is not supposed to board the Pushpak?

That is my fate

My marriage has ended...

...but I am not sad

In the days to come...

...I have my lovely

daughter to keep me company

She...is everything to me now

I don't know why I

keep writing to you

But...

...I like to believe you

are reading all of them

Most of my old beliefs...

...were wrong, is

what age has taught me

We had so many dreams...

...struggled so much!

Our plane...

...our skies!

I can't do this anymore, Venkidi!

Venkidi... are you listening?

Have you forgotten me?

Daughter!

What is it, Mother?

Look...there!

Mother? - Yes?

- There's a girl here

Is this Mr. Murugan's house?

Yes. I'll call him Ok

Father!

What's it, Daughter?

Someone's here to see you

Who is this, Daughter?

I am from around here

I wanted to know if Prof.

Venketeshwaran is here

Is he here? - Yes, he is

Who are you, child?

I am Janaki's daughter, Gauri

Mother sent me

Oh! Don't just stand there!

Come on in!

Venkidi is inside. I'll call him

It's alright. I'll go in

But Grandpa, Uncle was

getting ready to go somewhere

He didn't say anything when I asked

Go straight in

May I come in, Sir?

Come

Gauri... Janaki's daughter

I'd spoken to you on the phone

Mother would like to see you

She can't walk

She is outside... in the car

I'll come

Venkidi...

Don't step out

I...

...can I drive?

Lovely place! Let

me take a look around

I thought...

...you had forgotten me

That's why...l...

But I was sure...

...you couldn't forget me

But my routes were all closed

They were made to close

The letters you wrote...

...I saw them only yesterday

If at least one had

made it to my hands...

Who hid them?

Who needed to do that?

It wasn't any one person

It was Fate

The same Fate...

...that arranged for

us to meet here today

Where is she? Gauri?

She...

The same old M-PET that was

rusting away in the Church yard

It is air-worthy now

But it took two days and two nights

The boys haven't slept!

Let me help you, Mother

M-PET... Magic Carpet...

Can Janaki board this, Venkidi?

Won't you?

Shouldn't we fly?

Together?

L...

Say nothing. Let's fly
